WASHINGTON POST — 11 new restaurants and bars to check out around Washington

Church Hall: The team behind Penn Social, Franklin Hall and the Big Chief turned an empty space on the lower level of the Georgetown Park mall into a modern beer hall. What could have been a cave-like room is broken into multiple zones, including areas with couches and fireplaces and a mezzanine bar stocked with board games. The menu is stocked with bar snacks — tacos, tots, Frito pie — and craft beer. 1070 Wisconsin Ave. NW.
